- Auto-Apply: Automatically applies your saved settings when you load a new video on a known site.
- Works Everywhere: Compatible with YouTube, Netflix, educational platforms (Coursera, Udemy), and most sites using HTML5 video.
- Intuitive Interface: Modern, clean UI with simple controls and a visual editor for speed ranges.
- One-Click Reset: Easily reset the speed to the default 1.0x.
